I walked out of school yawning the sleep out of me from class earlier

"Man, I really need to keep myself awake in those classes if I want to keep good grades"

"You sure need some energy right now"

I turned to see Sally walking toward me with her usual smile

"Hi Sally" I waved "did you have a good day?"

"I did" she nodded "so what are you going to do today?"

"Well... I have been thinking on going to the You Show Duel School"

"Really?" she blinked "what makes you want to go there?"

"It's about time that I visit the future Dueltainer on his turf" I smiled


We walked down the road talking random things about today and of course Yuya on his path to becoming a pro duelist

"Do you think he has a chance to make everyone happy like Yusho Sakaki did?" Sally questioned

"Who knows Sally" I inquired "only Yuya has the power to answer that question"

I looked forward to that our destination is in front of us

"We're here" I smiled "let's go meet them"

We walked inside to see that the big room was simple and fun

"Hello" I called "is anyone here?"

"I don't think anyone is here Jason" Sally remarked "maybe they went out"

"Or maybe they're in the Action field room" I countered "let's go check it out"


Upon arriving at You Show Duel School we saw Yuya angrily chasing Sora with everyone laughing at the scene

"Huh..." I said getting everyone's attention "so this is where the fun is"

Yuya stopped his chase and walked to me "um, who are you two?"

"Oh sorry, where are our manners" I coughed "my name is Jason Wellbing"

"And I'm Sally Mazaki" the girl bowed

After that Yuya then introduced us to Yuzu along with his other friends Tatsuya, Futoshi, Ayu, Sora and the teacher who wasn't here known as Shuzo Hiragi who is also Yuzu's dad

"And we're-"

"New students for the school?!" a new voice interjected

We turned to see a man, presumably the owner/teacher of the school Shuzo, panting suggesting that he ran all from the control room

"Tou-san..." Yuzu sighed feeling embarrassed by her dad's antics

"No" I answered bluntly making Shuzo feel sad "we are actually here to see the duel of Yuya Sakaki"

I looked back to my curious target who was blinking back at me

"I remember you at the duel against the former champion Strong Ishijima and won with a new method called Pendulum" I recalled

"Yeah" he smiled while rubbing the back of his head "I don't know how I got them, but they have helped me get better"

"Good for you" I nodded "now that introductions are out of the way, I wish to duel Yuya"

My declaration caught them off guard

"What?" I blinked at their surprise "I just want to duel Yuya"

"I don't see any problem with that" Shuzo smiled before he turned to his student "right Yuya?"

"I don't see why not" he nodded "it will be sad that you made it all the way here only to be turned down"

"Thanks" I smiled "I'd like to have a good time with the future entertainer of dueling"


We both stood distant in the Action field room, I feel really excited that I was going to duel Yusho's kid...

"Before we start" I spoke "I just want to say that this duel will be a lot of fun"

Yuya was a bit surprised but he smiled "don't worry Jason, I'll let you see my grand entertainment duel"

Shuzo was in the solid vision room thinking on what field can be used for this duel

"Jason said that this is going to be a friendly duel" he hummed before realizing what card will be used "I got it!" he pressed the button on his system "activating the Action field, Athletic Circus!"


The projector lit up changing the environment into an inside room of a circus tent with floating balls around the area to make the place all the more fun

"Kire~!" Ayu awed at seeing the field shine with wonder

"It's like seeing an actual circus!" Tatsuya smiled

"This field is" Futoshi gulped before he moved wildly "shimireru!"

Sora looked at Jason intently 'something about you makes me curious, but what could that be?'

Yuzu smiled but she turned to see Sally watching the field she kept her eyes intent the duel but she could see a small smile on her face

'I wonder what she's thinking?' her thoughts were shaken when the two duelists declared the start of the Action duel


"Since you wanted to see my duel, I'll go first" Yuya smiled "I summon Performapal Hip Hippo"

The monster appeared next to Yuya making a quick bow before the duelist hopped on

Performapal Hip Hippo (Lvl: 3 ATK:800)

"I end my turn"

"My turn" I smiled while drawing my card "I summon Elemental HERO Heat"

A burst of flame appeared and my hero landed right next to me

Elemental HERO Heat (Lvl:4 ATK:1600)


"Elemental HERO?" the 3 kids questioned upon hearing the name

"They are warriors that use nature elements" Sora answered "they are tricky to use because of the Fusions they carry"

"Then that would mean-!" Yuzu called with wide eyes

"Right" Sora nodded "he's a Fusion duelist from LDS" his words struck them with worry as Yuya's eyes widen

"I guess you got me" I laughed "but right now let's continue" I looked back to Yuya "Heat's monster effect activates, for every Elemental HERO I control he gains 200 ATK points"

Elemental HERO Heat (Lvl:4 ATK:1600-1800)

"Battle!" I called "Heat, destroy Hip Hippo"

Heat jumped up with his fist burning ready to attack and he dove down onto his target, I saw Yuya's monster run around the field and he jumped of his monster and getting an Action card

"Action spell" he called "Miracle!"

Heat struck his target creating a smoke cloud but I heard Yuya speak again

"This card saves my monster from being destroyed and the damage I take is cut in half"

Yuya LP: 4000-3500

I smiled seeing Hip Hippo still in the field but the monster was panting a bit as it sprawled on the floor from Heat's attack

"Good job Yuya" I praised "you were able to keep your monster in play" I slid in a card in the spell/trap zone "I end my turn with one facedown"

"Ore no tan" Yuya drew and smiled upon seeing the card "I activate my Hip Hippo's monster effect to summon my level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

The Performapal monster disappeared and taking it's place was the ace monster that had defeated the former champion Strong Ishijima

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (Lvl:7 ATK:2500)

I looked at Yuya's dragon and from my angle, the monster looked happy to be on stage

"Battle!" Yuya jumped onto his dragon "Odd-Eyes attack Heat!"

Yuya and his dragon dashed forward and Odd-Eyes made an energy blast destroying my hero making an explosion

I raised my arm covering me from the strong wind as my life points decreased

Jason LP: 4000-3300


"Yatta!" Ayu, Futoshi and Tatsuya jumped in joy at seeing Yuya destroy Jason's hero monster

Yuzu smiled but noticed Sora looking intently on the duel "Sora..."

"Gomen Yuzu" the young Fusion duelist spoke "but there is something about this duel that's bothering me"

"What is it?" she asked

"I don't know but it will surprise us..."


"With Heat destroyed, I activate my trap Hero Signal!" I revealed my facedown "I can special summon an Elemental HERO from my deck"

A card ejected from the deck "and I call out Elemental HERO Woodsman"

Elemental HERO Woodsman (Lvl:4 ATK:1000)

"It seems that you have a good set up" Yuya smiled "tan endo"

"Then it's my turn, I draw" I drew my card and smirked

"I activate Woodsman's effect" I declared "during my standby phase I can add Polymerization from my deck or graveyard to my hand" I took the card from my deck

"I now use the spell card to fuse Elemental HEROs Avian and Sparkman!"

"Heroes of different elements, unite to create a new visionary power" the 2 monsters appeared above me before turning into a swirling vortex "Fusion summon! Vision HERO Adoration!"

My new hero appeared in his great presence stunning everyone who saw him and I can tell that he's feeling pretty good at being summoned right now

Vision HERO Adoration (Lvl:8 ATK:2800)


"Vision... HERO" Sally muttered in awe 'so cool!'

"Sugoi" Yuya muttered "a Fusion monster"

"But I'm not done" I smirked "I activate Adoration's effect, I choose one HERO monster I control" I looked at my Fusion hero who looked ready "and Adoration deducts your monster's ATK points equal to my target HERO"

"Nani!?" Yuya shouted in disbelief

Adoration dashed forward covered in a red aura and kicked Odd-Eyes on the head, making the dragon feel dizzy and stepped back a bit

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (ATK:2500-1500)

"Odd-Eyes!" Yuya cried

"Battle!" I declared "Adoration destroy that dragon!"

My monster ran up the tent pole and grabbed the trapeze swinging toward his target, while that happened Yuya ran around the field and spotted an Action card before grabbing it

"Action spell, Avoid!" he voiced "this negates the destruction of my dragon from your attack"

"Too bad that you I only have that card" I countered "I activate the quick-play spell Twister" I placed the card in the spell/trap slot "I pay 500 of my lifepoints to negate the effect of your card and destroy it"

Jason LP: 3300-2800

The Action spell is destroyed making Adoration get rid of Odd-Eyes

Yuya LP: 3500-2200

"Now Woodsman" I pointed to Yuya "attack him directly!"

Woodsman dashed forward and tackled Yuya making the young duelist fly in the air

Yuya LP: 2200-1200

"Yuya!/-niichan!" most of the audience screamed in worry


Sally looked at the duel 'Jason is really pushing it' she thought before looking at Yuya 'maybe he's trying to see if Yuya has gotten stronger'

"I end my turn" I finished

Yuya struggled to stand up, he fell on his knees feeling discouraged at seeing his ace monster destroyed.

He looked at Jason 'Am I going to lose?' he then looked at the worried faces of his friends by the window 'have I failed to fill in tou-san's shoes?'


I saw Yuya feeling bummed right now 'it seems Yuya still has confidence issues' an idea struck me and I started to tampering with my duel disk 'perhaps a quick chat would do the trick'

Yuya looked at his duel disk when suddenly a small screen popped up revealing Jason "Jason?" he blinked "what are you doing?"

"I just wanted to ask you something" he said "what is dueling to you?"

"Eh?" Yuya blinked in surprise on being asked such a question "what makes you say that?"

"Like I said before, I wanted to have a duel with you Yuya " Jason replied "also, to me, dueling shows people who they are"

'Dueling shows people who they are?' Yuya thought before giving his answer to Jason


Yuzu saw the two having a conversation and decided to talk to Sally about this

"Sally" she called "what is Jason doing?"

"He's helping your friend" the LDS student replied "when Jason duels someone he likes, he will encourage them to continue dueling to the end"

They looked back to see Yuya smiling again

"That's it Yuya" Jason smiled "show your great entertaining skills to those who are watching us"


In the Solid Vision room, Shuzo was crying a waterfall, never in his life has he witnessed someone else encourage his students

"Yosha!" he cheered "show them your hot-blooded duel Yuya!"

Yuya looked around to see and hear his friends cheer him on and he looked back to Jason who was nodding at him

"Ore no tan" the young entertainer now feels more determined to make his move "doro!"

Yuya looked at the card and smiled before suddenly the field went dark then a spotlight shined on the young duelist

"Ladies and gentlemen!" he announced "the moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived!"

"Then that means" Tatsuya called with excitement

"Yuya-niichan will" Ayu followed

"Make the pendulum" Futoshi finished "shimireru!"

"Yuya" Yuzu whispered "ganbatte..."

"With the scale of 1 Stargazer Magician and the scale of 8 Timegazer Magician, I create the pendulum!" Yuya placed the cards on both ends of his arm blade making the word pendulum light up

The 2 Spellcasters appeared in blue pillars with the numbers 1 and 8 representing their scales below them the sky created a light blue sky with a giant version of Yuya's pendant between them

"Swing the pendulum of my soul, draw power across the skies" Yuya chanted "Pendulum summon! Enter the stage my monsters!"

3 lights appeared from the sky and landed behind Yuya before taking shape of his monsters

"Return again, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" the dragon roared as it appeared back on the field "enter Performapal Kaleidoscorp and Performapal Partnaga" the two monsters appeared and happily moved at being on stage

Odd-Eyes Dragon (Lvl:7 ATK:2500)

Performapal Kaleidoscorp (Lvl:6 ATK:100)

Performapal Partnaga (Lvl:5 ATK:500)

"Now before I make my battle, I'd like to have everyone's attention on my monsters wonderful effects" he called "first Partnaga's effect allows me to have my Odd-Eyes gain 300 ATK points for every Performapal I control"

Partnaga hugged Odd-Eyes' crescent wing while it's gloved tail grabbed Kaleodoscorp's tail giving the dragon a power boost

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (ATK:2500-3100)

"Yatta!" the kids smiled "Odd-Eyes is now the strongest monster"

"And now Kaleidoscorp, activate your effect" the scorpion moved it's tail up releasing a ray of light making the area sparkle with rainbow colors "I can choose one monster I control and it can attack all special summoned monsters on my opponent's field" he then went to his dragon "and Odd-Eyes will be the star"

The dragon glowed for a second before creating a blue duplicate signifying that it can attack all monsters on my field

"Battle" Yuya smiled widely "I attack Adoration with my Odd-Eyes"

I ran fast and saw an Action card before picking it up "Action spell, Miracle!" I smiled "now my monster can't be destroyed while cutting the damgae I take in half"

"Stargazer's pendulum effect activates" Yuya interjected "if a spell card activates when my pendulum monster attacks, I can negate the effect and set that card face down"

My Miracle spell card moved face down leaving my Adoration wide open as Yuya's dragon attacked

"When my dragon attacks a level five or higher monster the damage is now doubled" Yuya smiled "reaction force!"

I braced myself as feeling the gust push me back as my monster got destroyed

Jason LP: 3300-2700

"Once more Odd-Eyes, attack Woodsman!"

The blue duplicate dragon flew towards my HERO creating another explosion sending me to the air

Jason LP: 2700-600


I landed on my back and was thankful this field has soft material

"Daijobu ka?" Yuya asked in worry

"I'm fine" I stood up and dusted myself "you sure do know how to make a good show in this duel"

"Heh, thanks" Yuya smiled as rubbed his head "I've been taught well by my tou-san"

"Too bad that I have to end this"

"Nandate?" Yuya blinked in surprise

"It's my turn" I smirked "I draw"

I looked at my card "I activate the spell card Pot of Greed" I drew 2 cards "then I activate the spell Fusion Recovery, this card lets me get one Polymerization and a fusion material from my graveyard"

I took the cards and placed them in my hand "I play Polymerization fusing Woodsman, Bubbleman and Ocean from my hand" I raised the cards in the air "heroes of different powers, unite to create a new visionary power" the 3 heroes appeared and turned into a swirling vortex "Fusion summon! Vision HERO Trinity!"

My new HERO appeared making Yuya and his monsters step back in awe

Vision HERO Trinity (Lvl:8 ATK:2500)

"When Trinity is fusion summoned, his ATK points are doubled until the end of the turn"

Vision HERO Trinity (ATK:2500-5000)

"Also my HERO can attack three times but he can't attack you directly" I smiled at him "however I don't need to do that because one attack is enough"

"Sonna" Yuzu gasped

"Yabai" Tatsuya added with worry

"I'm scared" Ayu clung onto Yuzu for support

Futoshi couldn't even react to this as he was stunned at the conclusion of this duel

Sora on the other hand continued eating his candy before making a small smile at Jason 'Jason Wellbing' he thought 'you just made yourself interesting'

"Now Trinity" I called "attack Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

The fusion HERO dashed forward while Yuya ran to look for an Action card but his dragon roared before an explosion came making him fly across the ground

Yuya LP: 1200-0

Jason: WIN


The field started to disappear, I looked at my HERO monster and smiled "you have changed the outcome of this duel Trinity" I smiled "thanks for helping me out"

The hero gave me thumbs up before he disappeared, I looked at Yuya to see him surrounded by his friends

"Yuya" Yuzu spoke "daijobu ka?"

"Hai" Yuya replied as he sat up "I'm okay" and then he smiled "and surprisingly I don't feel bad that I lost"

"What do you mean Yuya-niichan?" Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi asked in the same time

"It means that Yuya is okay with losing today" Sora answered bluntly as he ate another chocolate bar

I looked at the group conversing with each other, I felt a weight on me to see Sally hugging my arm in joy at my duel 'I had a fun day with you Yuya' I smiled happily

My thoughts shook away when Yuya was in front of me

"Hey Jason, I know that we are from different schools but..." he presented his hand "I'm glad that we met and made a good duel together"

"Me too" I smiled and shook his hand "I had a fun time dueling with you and I hope that you can achieve your dream of entertaining the masses"


I waved goodbye to them before walking out of the room with Sally and we went back to our homes after today

I waved Sally goodbye and walked home, upon arriving I saw 2 pairs of shoes on the floor signifying that my parents,Max and Cynthia Wellbing, are home

"I'm home" I announced

"We're at the dining room having dinner son" my mom's voice called

I took off my shoes and made my way to meet my parents and have dinner

After dinner we went to the living room to discuss something serious

"Mom, dad" I spoke slowly "there's something you need to know..."

"What is it son?" my dad asked

"It's..." I gulped "about the the alternate dimensions"

My words seems to strike them silent... they looked at each other and back to me

"We've been expecting this to happen" my dad sighed as he went to me "son, when you enrolled at LDS and made your skills known in the school, president Reiji informed us that you have potential to be a lancer"

"Lancer?" I blinked "what's that?"

"Reiji Akaba had a feeling that one of the dimensions might come to our dimension and invade us" my mom answered "he created the Lancers to pick out strong duelists to recruit and help him fight the invading force"

Wow... Reiji had made precautions should any of the dimensions come to ours, but the question now is... which dimension is the invading force?


After some words of precaution and promise to keep the topic a secret from others until Reiji can get more recruits to help him fight the enemy. I went up to my room sat on my chair and placed my duel disk on the table as I looked at the cards I got from the president of LDS last night

'Now the power of Xyz is in my hands' I thought with a small smile 'these can fit my deck'

I customized my deck a bit to fit my new cards with the ones I used. I yawned feeling tired from the knowledge of different dimensions and whatnot

But then a couple of cards fell from my table, I picked them up to see that they were the ones I used when I started learning Duel Monsters

'Guardian Eatos and Celestial Sword-Eatos' I smiled at my first cherished monster before using my HERO deck 'I believe it's time to get you back in my deck'

I stretched my arms a bit and yawned feeling my sleepiness get me, I dragged my body onto the bed, made one last look on my cards

'Goodnight you guys' I yawned one last time 'we still have long road ahead of us'

When Jason went to sleep. The cards in his deck started to glow revealing to be monster spirits smiling at him

"We will always be by your side Jason" the monsters spoke as one before disappearing back into the deck
